In an 5 page letter to a friend dated May 20, 1954, Lucille includes the events of New Year's Eve 1953. Lucille had this to say: "We went to Mary and Jack Benny’s house. Biggest event of the evening was when Gracie Allen “told off” Dinah Shore. Jane Wyman got drunk and decided to divorce Freddie Karger for the eighth time. Some blue-jeaned crasher at the party stole some minks. Some of the guests thought he was part of the party and he was even offered drinks. Haven’t seen Jack and Mary since. And that was New Year’s Eve in Palm Springs!” #lucilleball #jackbenny #desiarnaz #dinahshore #janewyman #gracieallen #newyearseveparty #partycrashers #newyearseve #minks #letters #gettingdrunk #ilovelucy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1v9vku-5A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Within Close Range: Good Friends and Bad Decisions
Good Friends and Bad Decisions
Meeting Betsy after dinner at Nonnie and Papa’s.
But not before swiping booze from their cabinet.
Having just been dumped,
she is determined to drown her sorrows.
As her best friend,
I’m determined to be right by her side.
Swig for swig.
Bad Decision Number One.
The entryway sideboard is where they keep liquor.
I’d come across the contents years…
i don’t feel llike a disgustign, worthless, patthetic failure of a thing for gettingdrunk a lone in a bad mood when that always makes things worse. ..that’s also. Good.

Happy Birthday Ethel Merman!(1908-1984) “Lucy and Viv and I decided to get together for a hen party at Lucy’s house in Beverly Hills. She pulled out some old scotch and the three of us got progressively snockered. Then Lucy decided she wanted to do our hair. She had a little mock beauty parlor thing in the back of the house. Viv and I were drunk enough to let her. My God what we ended up looking like...we were hysterical with laughter! The next day Lucy threw a bridal shower for me, as I was about to make my disaster with Ernie Borgnine.” (Referring to her one month marriage to Ernest Borgnine.) —Ethel Merman #lucilleball #ethelmerman #vivianvance #henparty #henpartyideas #bridalshower #gettingdrunk #scotchwhisky #beautyparlor #hysterical #ernestborgnine #girlsjustwannahavefun #ladiesnightin #broadwaystar #thelucyshow #happybirthday #themerm #broadwaystar #waynelvslcy #drunk https://www.instagram.com/p/Cne_OBTPp_6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
